Braces

The most common type of braces, particularly for children, are traditional metal braces. Metal braces are the most effective and least expensive type of orthodontic braces. Metal braces allow the orthodontist to complete monthly visits more easily and accurately, resulting in a perfect smile. Furthermore, kids and teenagers have a fantastic selection of elastic band colors to mix and match to create a look they love!
Ceramic or porcelain braces work the same as metal braces, but the brackets are less visible and the wires are colored to match your child's or teen's teeth. Clear braces are more expensive than metal braces and can discolor if not cleaned on a regular basis. These are a great option if you want a less noticeable appearance.
Removable aligners have grown in popularity in recent years. They are clear trays that sit on top of the teeth and can be removed for eating and other activities. Removable aligners cannot correct significant bite problems and are generally not recommended for children due to the additional cost and level of personal responsibility required during treatment. If you're looking for a less visible way to correct alignment issues, this could be the treatment for you.
